i E a PATENT SAFETY SEAT FOR WINDOW CLEANERS.

Application filed January 4, 1923.

To (ZZZ whom it may concern:-

Be it known that I, Josnrrr BADAGLIACOA,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Paterson, in the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Safety Seats for Window Cleaners, of which the following is a specification.

The primary object of my said invention is the provision of a seat that may be readily adjusted so as to be supported upon window sills of varying widths, and to otherwise generally improve upon devices set forth in my Patent No. 1, l37,4:8 1 granted to me December 5, 1922.

The nature and advantages of the invention will be better understood when the following detailed description is read in conncction with the accompanying drawings, the invention residing in the construction, combination, and arrangement of parts as claimed.

In the drawings forming part of this application, like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, and wherein Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a safety seat, the same being shown as sup ported in position upon a window sill.

Figure 2 is a bottom plan view of a device of this nature constructed in accordance with the present invention.

Figure 3 is a vertical transverse cross sectional view taken substantially upon the line 33 of Figure 1, and looking rearwardly in the direction of the arrows, and

Figure is a perspective view of one of the chair supporting legs employed by m in connection with this invention.

Figure 5 is a perspective View of one of the arm members.

New, having particular reference to the drawings, my device constitutes the provision of a rectangular shaped seat portion 5, which may be and preferably is,of wood and provided with a vertical back 6 rigidly secured to the said seat 5. The opposite side edges of the seat portion 5 are mortised as at 7 and positioned within these mortises are the vertical end flanges 8 of plate members 9. These plate members 9 are bolted or otherwise rigidly secured to the seat 5 as at 10 and have pendently formed thereon, legs 11 of substantially U formation.

Serial No. 610,583.

The before mentioned flanges 8 of the said plates 9 are each provided with screw threaded apertures 12, and positioned in close contact with these flanges 8, and the fiushside edges of the seat 5, are arm members 18. The formation of these arms is more clearly shown in Figure 5, each being provided with a pair of spaced, longitudinally extending slots 1 1 and a hooked front end 15. Extending through the slots 14 in each of these arm members and engaging the screw threaded apertures 12 of the before mentioned flanges 8 of each plate 9 are thumb screws 16 for permitting of adjustment of the said arms.

As clearly shown in Figure 1, the hooked ends 15 ofthe arms 13 are adapted for engagementv over the innermost portion of a window sill 17, the legs 11 being in turn adapted to rest upon the outermost portion 18 of the'window sill, and in view of the adjustabilitylof each of the arms 18, it will at once be apparent that my improved seat for window cleaners may be readily adjusted for permitting of the attachment of the same to window sills of varying widths.

lVhile I have herein shown and described the preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is nevertheless to be understood that minor changes may be made therein, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.

lVhat I claim as new is A window chair comprising a seat, plate members applied to the under side of the seat and at the opposite side edges thereof and having flanges which are disposed along the side edges of the seat, arm members provided at one end portion with longitudinally disposed slots, set screws passing through these slots and engaging in the flanges of the plate members, the set screws being disposed at the side edges of the seat and in horizontal alinement with the seat, the said arm members being provided with hook extremities adapted to engage around the edge of a window sill, and U-shaped legs permanently carried at the under sides of the plate members and adapted to hear at their intermediate portions upon the sill of the window. a

In testimony whereof I afliX my signature.

J OSEIH BADAGLIACGA.
